Foot Control

By the nature of the work we do, we see a lot of problems with feet, knees, hips and back. People come to us to get fixed, so naturally we see a lot of it. A huge amount of the problems stem from poorly supported feet. Our premium quality custom cycling insoles can help sort these problems for good. Your kinetic chain needs stable foundations to drive you forward. If your feet aren’t support correctly, you won’t get that support.

When your foot is not supported correctly it moves inside your shoe, creating friction and increasing fatigue. An average 2 hour ride involves over 12,000 pedal strokes, that’ s a lot of movement for a poorly supported foot!

We have always been obsessed with foot control; a well supported foot reduces power loss, reduces the risk of injury, increases saddle comfort, and improves the pedal stroke. Sidas Footbeds are used by World Tour riders who demand the best from their equipment.

Broadly, we split this into two approaches: reflective and corrective insoles. A Sidas custom foot-bed will be moulded, primarily, to reflect your foot structure and shape with any correction being fairly mild and gentle. Sometimes we will need to deal with specific structural issues with the foot and will seek to correct the foot in the shoe as best possible. Most insoles we create are gently corrective, to remind the foot how it should be. If your feet are already in great shape, then a stabilising reflective footbed will still yield great results.

Our Sidas footbeds work for 90% of foot types and issues but for some cases an appointment with our friendly local podiatrist is needed.
